No Hat

We've done a lot of walking around the past couple of weeks. Two days ago we walked through the Louvre courtyard, which for anyone not up to par on their French history, was a palace built by Louie the sun king, later taken over by Napoleon and turned into a museum. I've heard recently the art in the Louvre is the spoils of the cities ransacked by Napoleon back in the day. We haven't been inside yet, but just the outside was pretty impressive. Not including that glass pyramid. Mike took this picture as we were leaving the courtyard. You can't see any of the palace, but this Arc is at the courtyard entrance. And of course, the Tower in the dusky distance there. Last night we went to a Canadian bar called the Moose. There are quite a few 'English' speaking bars in the city. It was the first time I've been able to walk around outside without a hat. Hooray!
